What’s more likely in the techno-fascist idiocracy of the 21st Century?
We somehow manage to turn statistical models into super-intelligence… or the incompetent, criminally-corrupt, sociopathic leadership at the top of capitalism train an AI to defend the rich from the working class — by training it to be the most efficient killing machine possible — integrate it into fully autonomous killing machines, and it (accurately) determines the most efficient way to kill 99% of humanity is to start a nuclear war?
There is no reason to believe that Skynet is related to, or a development of LLMs, machine learning, or neural networks.
It’s like criticizing their time-travel tech because a Timex could never work that way.
That’s why I used AI and statistical modeling; not LLM’s?
So when we’re not using fiction to judge the present, we’re instead rewriting fiction to fit the present? I have a good idea - stop forcing your conception of either through such a narrow frame of view.
Skynet was exactly what it was shown to be because it’s fiction and that’s how fiction works. And llms have no chance of becoming anything similar, regardless of what fools or charlatans proclaim. Neither inform or contradict the other.
Option B sounds cooler, so that one please
